When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke,; How long must I suffer, Lord, how long must I be provoked?; Satan will give you a little taste, then he'll move in with rapid speed,; Lord keep my blind side covered and see that I don't bleed.
The treasure can't be found by men who search
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Everything passes,; Everything changes,; Just do what you think you should do.
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
If I ever lose her I will go insane; I go half crazy when she calls my name
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
Well, there's voices in the night trying to be heard; I'm sitting here listening to every mind polluting word
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
A saxophone someplace far off played
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
You don't need a weather man; To know which way the wind blows
Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
We're both just one too many mornings; An' a thousand miles behind.
time is running backwards
And the words that are used; For to get the ship confused; Will not be understood as they're spoken.
Temptation's not an easy thing
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.; I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
Gonna take dancing lessons do the jitterbug rag; Ain't no shortcuts, gonna dress in drag; Only a fool in here would think he's got anything to prove
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
people don’t live or die, people just float
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
Where black is the color, where none is the number
When my life is over, it'll be like a puff of smoke
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
I can change, I swear, oh, oh,; See what you can do.; I can make it through,; You can make it too.
Build a fire, throw on logs; And listen to it hiss; And let it burn, burn, burn, burn; On a night like this.
Has the record been breaking,; Did the needle just skip
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
I can't provide for you no easy answers,; Who are you that I should have to lie?
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,; For the child that cries; When innocence dies.
You were trying to break into another world; A world I never knew.; I always kind of wondered; If you ever made it through.
Nations are angry, cursed are some,; People are expecting a false peace to come.
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
She said, "Be easy, baby,; There ain't nothin' worth stealin' in here."
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
He said, Are you lookin' for somethin' easy to catch?; I said, I got no money. He said, That ain't necessary.
It ain't my cup of meat.
People are crazy and times are strange
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in; Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
The night passed away so quickly; It always does when you're with me.
People on the platforms; Waiting for the trains; I can hear their hearts a-beatin'; Like pendulums swinging on chains
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
If dogs run free, why not me; Across the swamp of time?
